I liked the first season.
Unfortunately, it came during the Xena/Zorro syndicated craziness of the mid 90's.
That's where the show lost me.
It is very similar. Good eye.
I just think nobody was interested. I've seen every film over and over again but I didn't even know about the release until 3 or 4 weeks prior to the opening.
Paramount did a bad job marketing the film.
I have not seen it yet and now that's it's nowhere near my local cinema as of Friday...I'll have to wait for VOD or Redbox.
Away from the Internet and the IPhone...
It's the same.
Birdman

I saw it in theaters.
All I knew was from the car wreck scene...and mostly that was from the original trailer.

Drugs, particularly meth and heroin.
It demands a smaller budget.
Alien 3 was better than Aliens. Not by much though.
I put Aliens on mute the other day and realized how awful it was in compression to the original. Then the famous knife scene with Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton came on and I took it off mute.
After how stupid it all looked in comparison, I had to hit mute again.
Choppy dialogue, subpar special effects with the models, cardboard cutout secondary characters...the film is ** 1/2 stars at best.

Does it hold up?
Let us know...
For those that don't remember...this was a series tucked in between "King of Queens" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" on Monday night on CBS.
I don't believe it ever cracked the top 20, but it did run for 6 years.
A successful but forgotten show.
If anyone is still asking:
Q: "Are there actual non-SNL televised-shows that are actually filmed in front of a live studio audience and aren't filled with a laugh track"
A: Yes. "The Conners" and a few others.

In some ways Linda Hamilton is the new Lorraine Gary.
She's not hunting for sharks, she's hunting for terminators!
The franchise is dead.
The $200 Million dollar price tag is like throwing a banana into the monkey cage. It made no sense.
The earlier film was a flop and nobody was interested even with the return of one of Hollywood's biggest icons of 90's in a followup to his signature role that made him a superstar.
Did the studio, producers actually think that Linda Hamilton would have that same jaw dropping reaction.
I don't want to get into the politics of it all, someone earlier mentioned Fatty Arbuckle; but it's got to be Bill Cosby.
I remember reading some almanac like book many, many years ago (late 80's early 90's) in which people (maybe it was the Almanac??) were polled and Bill Cosby was second only to the Pope as the most recognized figure on the planet.
This would have been above Ronald Reagan at the time and I'm guessing before the 1990's emerged.
Yes, Bill Cosby's fall is among the greatest...
On a weird note, separating the horrors of it all...I never really liked "The Cosby Show" on NBC. It was a fun show, with a loud studio audience (which would be really, really cool now on primetime) but it was never all that great after season #3.
The pilot was/is infamous.
You might be able to catch it for free on Youtube or Hulu...not sure. It's worth a look just alone for nostalgic purposes.
I preferred, "Cosby" on CBS another show albeit a minor hit...but a hit nonetheless.
For those that remember, it was during that time frame (in it's 2nd seasons) that these so-called "innuendoes" started to surface into the news.
It's really a sad oddity of an otherwise great journey brought down by depravity, ego and evil...
I'm referring to the actor himself and his real life struggle with addiction.
This:
<blockquote>a return to the lower budget hard R/18 rated dark horror noir of T1 (budget of 100m max. with less CG more practical stuff makeup, animatronics, blood squibs). No trilogy starter either just a self contained story maybe even a wrap of the saga.</blockquote>
I'd take it down to $40 million max.
Yes. I'm sure he got something out of the deal.
It's so sad to see what happened to him, there was a lot of promise there.
Addiction's a bitch:(
I think they should have made TDF as a more of a horror film like the original 1984 picture.
Opened it a week before Halloween....
They could have done that and shed about $150 million from the budget.
These days both Arnold and Hamilton will work pretty much work for popcorn.
There was no need to for this kind of budget following the response of Terminator Genisys.
I thought that was from Back To The Future Part II with Crispin Glover filing a lawsuit.
